King of Ten Thousand Years

On the surface of the sea, Luo Tian and Qi Yuntian attacked simultaneously.

”Sword Wind Howl!”

A fierce and violent Sword Qi shot out, kicking up a dark, icy storm that let out a furious roar, echoing in all directions and shaking the very soul!

Against Wu Ye, Luo Tian immediately used his strongest Sword Technique!

”Wuji Battle Heaven!”

Qi Yuntian’s eyes shone brilliantly, and he radiated a domineering and imperious aura.

An aurora that illuminated all directions shot forth, radiating a grand and boundless momentum as if to pierce through everything!

At this very moment, the two Kings of the Celestial Pride of the Dongchen Continent had joined forces against a common enemy.

Once rivals, now they were teammates.

BOOM! RUMBLE!

Their attacks instantly collided with Wu Ye’s Silent Night Claw. Three terrifying energies clashed, and a dim, chaotic explosion spread in all directions.

The deep blue sea surface surged with massive waves, and a pale blue storm swept across the area. Everyone felt a sharp, cutting pain in their souls.

From within the explosion, a beam of Sword Qi and a crystalline white aurora suddenly burst out, shooting toward Wu Ye!

Wu Ye’s expression darkened. With a wave of his hand, he summoned a dark, grayish-white ribbon of light that shattered them.

In this exchange, the two Kings of the Celestial Pride gained the upper hand!

After Qi Yuntian’s Cultivation broke through to the Earth Element Realm Second Layer, his power had increased dramatically, allowing him to overpower an average expert at the Earth Element Realm Second Peak!

Teaming up with Luo Tian, the two of them could contend with someone at the Earth Element Realm Third Layer.

”A bunch of useless trash!” Wu Ye barked coldly.

The green-haired woman had been overtaken and wounded by Luo Tian.

And Tu Kai and the other member of the Sea Hunter Race had actually let Qi Yuntian get past them.

”Senior Brother Wu, I’ll help you!”

shouted the green-haired woman from behind.

”We have to end this quickly!”

Luo Tian said to Qi Yuntian. Otherwise, if the green-haired woman came to provide support, the situation would turn grim.

As the two advanced, they continued to clash with Wu Ye.

In the two-on-one fight, Luo Tian and Qi Yuntian held a slight advantage. In terms of distance covered in the second trial, they were gradually closing in on Wu Ye, and even showing signs of surpassing him!

”All of you can just die!”

Wu Ye’s eyes turned sinister as a deathly aura emanated from him.

’First place must be mine, and all the humans have to die!’

”Silent Extinction Fog Ghost Hand!”

A surging tide of black and white interwoven fog rushed toward them. From within, hundreds of ghastly, pale skeletal claws stretched out, as if trying to drag Luo Tian and Qi Yuntian into Hell.

A chill ran through both their bodies and minds. Their expressions hardened, and they immediately counterattacked!

A sharp, crystalline, ice-cold Sword Light and a fierce, domineering Palm Force shot out in unison, colliding with the misty ghost claws.

But this time, Wu Ye gained the upper hand!

’As expected of the strongest genius among the Sea Demon Palace’s new generation... He can hold the advantage even while fighting one against two,’ Luo Tian marveled internally.

He and Qi Yuntian didn’t dare to relax, attacking with all their might to wear down and shatter the monstrous misty ghost claws.

”Night Demon’s Death Hand!”

Wu Ye suddenly changed his technique.

The monstrous misty ghost claws condensed toward the center, forming a single palm that blotted out the sky.

The palm was ghastly pale, entwined with strange black patterns. The center of the palm was pitch-black, like a black hole, threatening to suck all living things into an abyss of death!

At this moment, both Luo Tian and Qi Yuntian felt an intense threat!

”Qi Yuntian, are you still not going to use your full power?”

Luo Tian shouted.

Due to the flaw in his Cultivation Technique, Qi Yuntian usually only used sixty to seventy percent of his strength in battle.

Qi Yuntian’s gaze hardened.

’After unleashing my full power, I’ll fall into a short period of weakness, which is extremely dangerous.’

”Qi Yuntian, help me out today, and in the future, I might be able to help you complete your Cultivation Technique and fix its flaws.”

Luo Tian said again, making a promise.

”What?”

Qi Yuntian looked astonished, finding it hard to believe.

’The Wuji Saint Qian Skill I cultivate is a Celestial Level Technique passed down from the Ancient Era. Even my own master couldn’t complete it.’

’Luo Tian isn’t even in the Earth Element Realm, yet he dares say he can help me complete my Cultivation Technique.’

’But... Luo Tian was the first person to see the flaw in my Cultivation Technique, a fact that has always baffled me.’

’Thinking back to how fast Luo Tian finished the first trial... maybe he really does have some extraordinary talent or special ability in this area!’

”Wuji World!”

A divine splendor bloomed in Qi Yuntian’s eyes, and he unleashed an unparalleled aura that shook all directions.

On his slowly raised palm, the light grew brighter and brighter, and the aura became increasingly terrifying, striking fear into the hearts of all who witnessed it!

”Hm?”

Wu Ye looked toward Qi Yuntian.

’This guy actually wasn’t using his full strength before.’

BOOM!

A massive Palm Light that astounded all onlookers, like a brilliant aurora piercing the heavens, shot through the air, radiating a grand and boundless momentum.

The air vibrated violently, and all matter in its path was pulverized.

The two unparalleled Palm Forces collided instantly, eroding and piercing through each other.

Luo Tian seized the opportunity to attack.

WHOOSH!

A chaotic torrent of black and white airflow rolled toward Luo Tian and Qi Yuntian.

After striking with his full power, Qi Yuntian’s True Essence was in turmoil and difficult to control, leaving him unable to attack again.

”Freeze!”

Luo Tian immediately activated his Divine Vein, spreading a vortex of cold air to envelop a hundred-meter radius.

When the cold, black-and-white mist rushed in, it was instantly frozen solid, leaving Qi Yuntian, who was directly behind him, safe and sound.

Wu Ye was also hit by the aftershock of the Sword Qi and Palm Force, forcing him to form a True Essence Shield to resist it.

”Again!”

Luo Tian shouted.

Qi Yuntian understood his meaning and once again erupted with his full power, executing his ultimate Palm Technique.

As the previous generation’s King of the Celestial Pride, after his Cultivation broke through to the Earth Element Realm Second Layer, Qi Yuntian’s full-power burst was nearly on par with Wu Ye’s strength.

Under these circumstances, with Luo Tian joining forces with him, they could reliably suppress Wu Ye.

However, after each burst, Qi Yuntian had a short period of weakness, while Wu Ye consistently maintained his powerful combat strength.

During these times, Luo Tian would block in front, allowing Qi Yuntian to safely get through his period of weakness.

’Wu Ye doesn’t know about the flaw in Qi Yuntian’s Cultivation Technique... which is very advantageous for us,’ Luo Tian thought to himself.

Their coordination became increasingly smooth, and their advantage grew.

In the process of fighting a strong enemy, Luo Tian’s potential was pushed to its limits, and his comprehension of both the Nine Heavens Sword Technique and the Celestial Sword Technique improved.

His understanding of the Sixth Technique, Sword Wind Howl, reached the Great Achievement Realm.

As for the Second-Layer of the Celestial Sword Technique, the Ruyi Realm, it was approaching Great Success.

At a certain moment, a clever and tricky Sword Technique from Luo Tian tore through Wu Ye’s sleeve, leaving a bloody scratch on his arm.

”Bastard!”

Wu Ye was furious.

’Being wounded by someone at the Peak of the Ninth Layer of the Spirit Sea Realm is an absolute humiliation!’

He was just about to launch a counterattack.

But suddenly, a slender Black Shadow shot out from the nearby sea surface, emitting a dangerous aura.

SWISH!

Wu Ye dodged just in time and got a clear look at the slender black figure. It was a strange fish covered in thick Scale Armor, with an incredibly long mouth that resembled a sharp arrow, glinting with a dark light.

”Black Poison Swordfish!”

A chill went through Wu Ye’s heart.

’The Black Poison Swordfish is a Demon Beast from the seas of Ancient Times. It’s small, fast, covered in Scale Armor, and extremely difficult to kill.’

’Furthermore, this fish contains a potent poison, has terrifying killing power, and always moves in schools, making it a symbol of disaster!’

Meanwhile.

Luo Tian and Qi Yuntian were also suddenly attacked by Black Poison Swordfish.

Luo Tian swept the area with his Spiritual Sense and discovered that schools of Black Poison Swordfish surrounded the small island. Anyone who got too close would be attacked.

’Is this the final challenge of the second trial?’ Luo Tian wondered.

’The second trial is definitely not as simple as just having everyone fight each other.’

’The trial itself can’t be ignored.’

Luo Tian looked at Wu Ye and noticed that the Black Poison Swordfish attacking him were relatively strong, while the ones attacking Luo Tian himself were weaker.

’Higher Cultivation means greater difficulty, lower Cultivation means lower difficulty...’ Luo Tian concluded.

This was meant to make the trial fair, but it had instead made Luo Tian the one having the easiest time at the moment.

”This is a school of Black Poison Swordfish that my master captured long ago out of boredom...”

the pale blue Mermaid illusion in mid-air said with a smile.

”Qi Yuntian, keep attacking with all your might!” Luo Tian said.

Wu Ye wanted to eliminate them, and Luo Tian likewise wanted to eliminate Wu Ye.

’As things stand, Wu Ye might be the first to pass the trial, or even have the best performance and obtain Venerable Biqing’s inheritance!’

”The trial’s difficulty has increased. I’m afraid I can’t...”

Qi Yuntian shook his head slightly.

’What with the corrosive seawater, the gales that attack one’s spirit, and now these Black Poison Swordfish, I don’t dare get too distracted.’

”They’re just Black Poison Swordfish. What’s there to be afraid of!”

”...”

Qi Yuntian was speechless.

’The Black Poison Swordfish attacking Luo Tian are only around the Half-step Earth Element Realm. Of course he’s fine.’

’But the ones attacking me are at the Earth Element Realm Second Layer or even Third Layer.’

Just then, Luo Tian summoned his Crow.

CAW CAW CAW!

The Crow immediately flew next to Qi Yuntian and let out a demonic cry that sounded like scraping metal.

Qi Yuntian’s body stiffened. ’I’ve never heard such a horrible noise in my entire life,’ he thought.

However, Qi Yuntian discovered that the Black Poison Swordfish around him were greatly disturbed. They all seemed dizzy and disoriented, their speed slowing and their attacks weakening.

Then, the Black Poison Swordfish were all drawn to the Crow and began to attack it frantically.

With the Crow in the air, the Black Poison Swordfish had a low hit rate.

The pale blue gales in the air, which attacked one’s spirit, also had little effect on the Crow.

The pressure on Qi Yuntian was instantly reduced.

”Kill!”

Qi Yuntian’s True Essence surged. A dazzlingly brilliant Aurora Palm Force suddenly shot out, incomparably domineering!

”Sword Wind Howl!”

Luo Tian unleashed his strongest killing move.

A fierce and violent Sword Qi kicked up a dark, icy storm. Like a raging Fierce Beast, it let out an enraged roar that shrieked in all directions!

Just a moment ago, Luo Tian’s comprehension of this technique had reached the Great Achievement Realm, making it more powerful than ever before!

Meanwhile.

Wu Ye was simultaneously facing three crises and didn’t dare get too distracted. He didn’t rush to attack Luo Tian and Qi Yuntian.

But he hadn’t expected that Luo Tian and Qi Yuntian would actually take the initiative to attack him.

”Damn it!”

Wu Ye saw the reason in a single glance.

A cold, black-and-white mist spread from his body, and a True Essence Shield formed on his skin.

The next instant, Luo Tian’s and Qi Yuntian’s attacks arrived. They collided with the black-and-white mist, quickly crushing it and pushing forward!

BOOM! HISS!

The explosion erupted, sending waves churning into the sky.

After being weakened by their attacks, the True Essence Shield on Wu Ye’s body was instantly corroded by the seawater.

SWOOSH!

Wary of the deep blue seawater, Wu Ye flew into the air, only to be swept up by the blue storm, feeling a sharp, cutting pain in his soul!

Just then.

”Wu Ye, you’re not all that great after all!”

Luo Tian’s robes and hair fluttered as a divine light of immense confidence radiated from his eyes, pressing down on his opponent.

”What?”

A vein throbbed on Wu Ye’s forehead.

’A mere cultivator at the Peak of the Ninth Layer of the Spirit Sea Realm dares to speak so arrogantly to me!’

”Hahaha, this fight for the inheritance is mine to win!”

Luo Tian laughed wildly. A strange, dark light flickered in his eyes, as if he had transformed into an Evil Monarch, exuding a sinister and unfathomable spiritual aura.

This was none other than the Demon Thought Technique.

Used at the right time, it could have unexpected effects!

Wu Ye’s Spiritual Power was strong, but he was currently under assault from the blue gales, which had weakened his defenses.

”The inheritance is mine!”

Wu Ye’s face turned cold. His anger, agitation, and killing intent suddenly multiplied several times over.
